Starting to Read: It’s Playtime Fun with Phonics

One of our kids learned to read fairly easily, and our other child has struggled. I was so thankful to find these activities linked up in our weekly It’s Playtime, our Kids Meme that runs every Wednesday afternoon. They have been a huge help with making Phonics fun for kids!

How to Read:

Word family flip chart – use 3×5 cards, cut them to separate letters or word enings and help your child flip to create new words.

Wand for E – “E” can transform “mad” into “made”. Make your own magic “e” wand.

Flip over E wheel – make a word wheel and as you turn the wheel new words are formed. Add a “flip E” to change a short vowel into a long one.

An original "Quirky Momma" blogger and "Mommy" to six kids under six, when Rachel is not wiping crayon off the walls or wading through laundry, she can be found exploring and creating with her kiddos. She hopes to be someone who acts justly, loves kindness and walks humbly before God (Micah 6:8).
